Medieval Paving Tile – 7 Ears Of Wheat Motif, Flanders (bruges Region)
Medieval Paving Tile – Seven Ears of Wheat Motif, Flanders (Bruges Region)
A charming medieval paving tile, typical of northern France and Flanders, originating from the Bruges region of Belgium. Square in section with a trapezoidal cross-section, this example features a particularly sought-after symbolic decoration: a sheaf composed of seven ears of wheat.
In the Middle Ages, this motif was considered a true lucky charm, a symbol of good fortune, prosperity, and abundant food for the coming year.
The decoration, in brown slip on a yellow background, is still remarkably legible and testifies to the skill of the workshops of the period.
This tile is in exceptional condition considering its age: it retains its entire original glaze and has only one small, discreet chip.
Dimensions: 5.2 x 5 cm Thickness: 1.3 cm
An authentic and meaningful piece, ideal for collectors or enthusiasts of medieval archaeology.
Price excludes shipping costs.
